Looks private to me...
What are you wanting to fish for? There are lots of spots in Katy...

I'm game for most anything. As of late I've just been doing some catfishing & bass fishing.

Both are in all of the creeks. Try Mason Creek whereever you can get access and a bit of water depth.

BTW I did some exploring on Sunday in the Cinco Ranch area. There are some nice looking lakes, but all are marked "No Trespassing - Residents Only", so I didn't fish them. Some I walked around a bit and saw lots of fish; mostly bass and sunnies.

Yeah...I gave Mason Creek a shot for the first time last weekend. The conditions weren't ideal. I could see fish moving in the water...but didn't get any bites. I did fish South Lake in Cinco Ranch. I noticed a lot of top water action towards the middle of the lake...but was only able to hook up with one small bass.

I'm going to head to mason tomorrow after work (around 1 or 2).
Last weekend wasn't good at all for anything (no bass, very few cats)

If I don't get anything for 2 hours, probably going to head to La centerra.
Gillinator said the algae amount was small, for which I'm glad.

They have those signs at la centerra too.
Nobody bothers me though. I guess as long as you don't leave trash around (you shouldn't anywhere) or cause a ruckus, you're good.

Hey kittywompper are there any ponds in north texas area that hold DD´S

DD's?

Double digit fish no not a woman with double d's fishing although thats not a bad idea either !

Anyone in Katy know whats being built here?

Ive passed by it yesterday morning (before the rain) and noticed its filling up with water. Im guessing its a retention pond, but it'll be nice to know if its going to be stocked with fish.

I can answer Chilli 31s question by saying I quarantee if there is a pond that is absolutely off limits to everyone,there are double d's in it.

this map is extremely helpful. thanks so much to everyone who's contributed a site. it's really helped me find some places to take my son.

Great Info
THANKS

Great map!

Thank you so much for this map!

Made my life so much easier.

Time to go try my hand at catching some freshwater fish.

Anyway to put all these on my iphone?

I can do it on Android with Google maps installed...it only shows you the spots and not the text info.
Open this link with your phones browser or maps and it should work.

How do you upload a pin drop from an iPhone....I have an awesome public sandbass spot I'd like to share that's about to get hot....

Actually unfortunately you can't update the map at all. Because some goomba decided it would be funny to move map points around to places where there was no lake, I had to take away the ability for anyone to update the map.

Send me a PM with the information and I'll add it to the map.

Thanks,

Ron

I've been away from TFF for awhile now and have neglected updates to the map for health reasons and other of life's little distractions.

However, I just went through the queue of update requests that I had and have added some new ones to the map.

Total spots now is just under 200, and we've passed the 400,000 hits mark - pretty cool, I guess people are using it.

Again, many thanks to all those that have contributed, and my hope is that this continues to provide a valuable tool to every banker just looking for a good place to fish.

Ron

Congrats!

PM sent with an Austin Area fishing place. I have several other places I can add when I get more free time.


Midnight Russ

Gotcha covered Russ. Always looking for good spots in the Austin area, so keep 'em coming.

Ok, so with Russ's post, I just posted the 199th fishing spot.

So, who's going to be the one to post the 200th spot??!!

Whoever that person is will one an all expenses paid[by you] bank fishing trip to the fishing spot of your choice with[or without, your choice] your wife/significant other, kids[whether you have any or not], and all of your relatives! This is a rare opportunity, so send me that rare, undiscovered location today!

Also, we're still at around 435,000 hits since I started this map 2 years ago, and I'm thinking that we should be above 500,000 by now. So that means that you guys must not be fishing enough, not using the map enough, not telling your friends about it, or something! So, start using the map - I have a reputation to think about!

And, one last thing. My good buddy Matt Dobson, just launched a new application for the iPhone called "Fishing Scout". It's a great way to share what you're catching and where for you iPhone users. I hope that all of you iPhone guys and gals will download Matt's app and give it a try.

Oh, and one more last, last thing and I promise this really is the last thing. A lot of you have expressed your appreciation on the map, and I've run into a number of you on the water who are using the map. Just so, you know, I didn't create this map all by myself. When I started 2 years ago, I scouted some spots on Lake Lewisville, created the map and started promoting it. It took off from there, and there have been many, many contributors since then - so thanks to everyone for their support.

I'd love to hear stories (and see pics) of what people are catching at the spots on the map - I mean what better way to get people excited about bank fishing and fishing a given lake or spot than to hear what people are catching there, right?? So, share your stories and post 'em here. And remember

That's all for now.....now go drown' some worms...

Ron,

Thanks for the shout out and compliments. Very much appreciated!

I've used the bank fishing map many times. Lot's of great spots.
